My parking brake hardware needs replaced behind the rear wheel hubs so I have to remove the hubs to do that and I was wondering what was the proper procedure for adjusting the rear wheel bearings when I reassemble it?

Well, I found out how to adjust the rear axle wheel bearings in case anyone needs this info later on? The rear wheel bearing retaining nuts work in a ratchet motion ,as they are turned they make a clicking sound. When installing the retaining nut it gets torqued to 60 ft lbs, and then you back it off 7 clicks for used bearings and 5 clicks for new bearings.Also note that the drivers side is left hand thread and the passenger side is right hand thread. You will also need a special socket to use on the nut.Its a really nice design because theres no guessing on how much preload to set the bearings at?
